As of late my I've been experiencing problems with my router. What seems to happen is that although the router is clearly on and functioning it just wont let me connect to it. I'm sure that it is the wireless router than is not working and not my receiver. The strange thing is, is that sometimes it will let me connect, like now, and other times the little corner icon will just stay as it is, unconnected and with a cross on it claiming no wireless networks have been found. I updated the firmware and that seemed to fix the problem although now it's back. I'm holding off calling customer support becuase well...you know. My router is the Netgear DG834G v2. Does anyone know why this problem is happening and is there anyway to fix it? Also if there isn't are there any recommended routers I should buy?

Thanks.

This is odd, the problems seems to be fixed. I'll just wait it out to see if it comes back. Anyway, are Linkskys' routers easy to configure. As in do I just pop in my user name and pass word like I did with my Netgear or is there more to it? I ask becuase I'm as noob as you can be when it comes to networking :/

I am having the same problem. I am able to be on the firewall at times, and then I loose connection to the firewall or the internet. I am off the internet sometimes for hours at a time. I have a lynksis wusd54gc lynksis wireless adapter and a wusb54g lynksis firewall. I am not sure what the problem is if someone has something that I can try besides hard wire I would like it. This is a desktop computer but it is all the way across the house from my firewall and my lan computer.

    • Google Chrome is ending support for two ancient versions of Android

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Google Chrome is ending support for two ancient versions of Android by Usama Jawad Google Chrome is the most used browser right now, with the competition trailing far behind. What browser you use typically ends up being a matter of preference and familiarity, but all vendors are trying to one-up each other as they vy for more market share. Recently, Google claimed that Chrome is now faster than ever while Microsoft boasted that Edge is better at ad-blocking than Google's offering. Regardless of all these factors, Chrome commands a significant market share, even on legacy systems. Now, Google has announced that it is ending support for Chrome on two legacy versions of Android. In a brief blog post, Google has announced that it is dropping support for Chrome on Android 8 Oreo and Android 9 Pie with the upcoming version 139 of the browser expected to release on August 5. Right now, the current stable version of Chrome is 137, which means that Chrome 138 will be the last version of the browser to support these legacy operating systems. In practice, this means that Chrome will require Android 10.0 or above on mobile platforms in order to receive further updates. While the browser will continue working on older versions of Android, they will not receive updates, which means that they'll be left insecure and vulnerable to cybersecurity threats. As expected, Google has recommended that users on older systems should migrate to at least Android 10 in order to continue receiving updates on Chrome. While the company hasn't explicitly stated a reason behind its decision, it likely has to do with the dwindling user base of these old versions of Android and Google's ambitions to get more people to upgrade to newer versions of its mobile operating system. It's important to note that Android 8 was released in August 2017 and received its final security patch in October 2021. Meanwhile, Android 9 was rolled out to the public in August 2019 and netted its final update in January 2022. So in retrospect, Google has already been offering Chrome support for these legacy versions long after they hit end-of-support themselves.
    • Hynix 2TB Platinum P41 NVMe Gen4 2280 SSD is back at a mouth-watering price

      I use two of these in RAID0 for video games and other things, together they are capable of 2.8 million IOPS and 15 GB/s on Gen4. At this price, 4 TB of Gen4 is faster and less expensive than a single 2 TB Gen5 NVMe, not to mention easier to cool off. Highly recommend.

      that is a normal sign in, they just put in a dumb location to try to hide it... and yes I think the whole MS account by default is BS too, the first question should be do you want an online profile or a local one

      You are missing the point, we should not have to do that. Should have a do you want an MS account option on the normal sign in.
